...Laurence Olivier, 60, recovering in London's St. Thomas's Hospital from a mild case of pneumonia and undergoing concurrent radiological treatment for what his wife, Actress Joan Plowright, describes as a "slight" cancer of the prostate; Elizabeth Taylor, 35, hobbling on crutches in and out of Princess Grace Hospital in Monte Carlo after a tumble aboard her rented vacation yacht Odysseia aggravated a chronic case of synovitis (knee inflammation) so badly that she may have to be operated...
Then one day the class rides him once too often. He cracks under the strain, rages at the boys, warns the loose-lipped girls, "Nobody likes a slut for long." He throws away the books, begins discussing such forbidden subjects as sex and rebellion. The shock treatment works. The class regards him with a mixture of awe and fear, begins to call him "Sir."
